Shaolin Legend captures the energy of the kung-fu stage show recorded live on February 8, 2006. With daunting stunts, the monks display their resistance to pain and their ability to control body and mind. They break wooden poles and iron bars over each other s heads, crush Chinese bowls with their bare fingers, and pierce glass plates with a single needle. With breath-taking speed and agility, they display their mastery of sword and pole fights, their sense of balance and physical as well as mental endurance.
